My No1 tip:

Alway be creative! It really doesnt matter if your solutions to problems are weird, unorthodox, experimental, or if the ingredients seem to be totally unrelated to the end result. Whatever works, works!

For instance:

I just made this design/artist impression today for a promotional campaign. I needed a texture of a shoeprint for it. Googling didnt help me much, so a creative solution was needed. I had to get a custom made shoeprint.

So i called a friend, asked if he had a digital camera, paper, and some sneakers and if he could make a photo of a shoeprint on the piece of paper (white paper would make it easy to cut out in photoshop).

So... the guy puts his shoe on the paper, and no real visual mark is left. Bummer...
But not to worry! The creative solution was soon found in the form of every computernerds best friend: Coffee!
My friend decided to take some coffee beans, grind them, put them in a bit of water, step in it with his sneakers, and make a footprint with the resulting brown coffee-mess under his shoe. And behold! It worked! Perfect shoe print, great contrast, easy to cut out in photoshop. Problem solved!

In the end result u dont even notice that there's any coffee involved, but that really doesnt matter. It worked and that's all that matters.
